Nobody stopped Leo Fender when he conceived of the ultimate shite guitar though, did they? All it would have taken was SOMEONE heterosexual to be working there at that point. Sighs.

This thread's title was literally screaming for some balanced Roo-input - surprised it took you all the way until page 2 :lol:

I quite like that steam-punk thingamy, otherwise the pointy guitars just look as good/bad as any other pointy guitar does to me...

Everyone was heterosexual in the '50s.  Even Liberace.

I like the bevels on that Rhoads like guitar but I agree the steps in the outline spoil it

I do like the paintwork on this though - very clever use of colour and Vreeble/crackle paint

How does a big brand design something and release a production model when it's this ugly?!!!

Surely someone in the company would go "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!! THAT'S FREAKING HORRIBLE!!!"

i bet those are.. bets :P

and the meeting usually goes like this:
So, what is the next thing on the list?
AAH yes, new 'guitars'
... geez that looks horrible
yes, but i bet we can find more than one idiot who will buy it just cos it's pointy and there's ESP on the headstock

Do you think that one has a plexiglass body with LEDs inside?

Think is a les paul shape on there that reminds me very much of the tigers eye feline lion

I like this though... when i say 'like' i mean I think its retarded.

thats fantastic!!! - it'll be perfect for my new trad-jazz gig.

i don't mind that. i wouldn't buy it myself, but i've seen a lot worse. if someone gave me one i wouldn't refuse to play it, be preoccupied with how bad it looked, or anything like that.
